In most cases, fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (FRSCC) contains only one type
of fiber. The use of two or more types of fibers in a suitable combination may potentially not only
improve the overal properties of self-compacting concrete, but may also result in performance
synergie. The combining of fibers, often called hybridization, is investigated in this paper for a
cimentetious matrix. Control, single, two fibers hybrid composites were cast using different fiber
type steel and polypropylene with different sizes. Flexural toughness tests were performed and
results were extensively analysed to identify synergy, if any, associated with various fiber
combinations. Based on various analysis schemes, the paper identifies fiber combinations that
demonstrate maximum synergy in terms of flexural toughness.
